AHHH! I just found out today that my surgery date is March 16th. 3 weeks from tomorrow.

It all seems so fast. I just started this process with an all day appointment at Mayo Clinic in November, and the time has FLOWN by.

I had my last visit with the psychologist on Friday and she signed off/discharged me then. I got the call from the surgical scheduler today and, I'm not even going to lie, started freaking out a little (okay, a lot).

Anyone else with March dates? My birthday is March 10th, so I can't think of a better way to usher in 33 than a new me.

I'm starting to get more nervous, but I keep telling myself that it's all for the better.

One preop visit, one lab visit, one bypass diet visit and then surgery. I don't know if anyone else has gone to Mayo Clinic, but they do not mess around. I've had to keep a significant food log (with pre and post-meal feelings) since November, had to cut out any alcohol and most caffeine and had to significantly increase exercise in order to be discharged.

Sorry, I'm kinda freaking out here. All of the forums here have been a massive help thus far, and I hope to post/contribute more as I go through the process.

WHEEE!

How are you managing to hey fluids in?

How are you managing to hey fluids in?

I sip pretty much all day. I'm still working on my first 1/2 of the bottle of Isopure. I added some Water to it because it seemed too sweet (I got the Grape Frost flavor). I'm doing what I can. See doc tomorrow and maybe he'll start me back on shakes. (I miss chocolate!)

Oh dear. I'm nervous about that! They want me to drink two 32-oz Gatorades (regular, not the G2) every day for the first week after surgery.

Thanks I will do my best ????

You should be fine. My mistake was I tried to gulp the two tablespoons of veggie broth, instead of sipping slowly.

I hear that. I'm a gulper - and will surely need to SLOW down.

It's a process. You can do it.

Your new stomach will remind you to slow down. You'll feel it. I've been telling friends that my stomach is like a funnel with a very small opening at the bottom. If you put too much in a funnel too fast it just sits there. Same thing.

If you can't get the 2 bottles in, do the best you can. Good luck all!

I'm home. I was discharged last night after keeping down liquids and being able to walk laps around the nurses station. The gas x definitely helps with gas. I'm alternating between rest, brearhing exercuses, and walking around the apartment.
